RachelAnne289 Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 I am interested in DIYing a 3d Printer at home. This is my first to start a project. Firstly, I need to calculate what materials, components and supplies are needed? This is the Electrical Components Required.datsheet Ramps 1.4 controller board x 01 Nos. Optical endstop switch x 03 Nos. NEMA 17 stepper motor x 05 Nos. PCB heatbed x 04 Nos. E3D v6 hotend x 01 Nos. A4988 stepper motor driver x 04 Nos. Power supply 12V/20A x 01 Nos. ATMEGA16U2 Microcontrollerdatasheet Is that all? I am not sure.Thanks for you sharing your advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Are you designing from the ground up? Or going from a kit? There are pre made plans out there. Print parts, assemble, and go. Voron, ratrig, hypercube, railcore. For endstops: I prefer mechanical Though for your Z axis, you might be better off with a bltouch or similar as that'll let you do offsets and bed leveling without having to dick around with 4 corners and paper. Little hard to judge other bits without specific info. Like... Why are you doing 4 PCB heaters as opposed to one from keenovo? Will a 240w PSU keep up with that? etc Open offer: If you need any 3d printed brackets or whatever for assembly, HMU and we can work something out. I can print anything short of PEI parts on my end. Can to PEEK / PEKK, but only small stuff. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
